Re: Officers Black Visor
The feelings are again not good, some doubds about the visor stitching, take a look, they are probably resewn with handstitching to the old holes. Probably Imperial wool mixed with period velvet, but that is only an my sceptic IMHO

The materials are period in my opinion but yes, I think you are right about the stitching. It's very, very well done though but just doesn't have that "old feel" about it. It's something you can't describe in words, it's just a feeling. I'm sure you guys know what I mean.
Just goes to show though, there are some excellent fakes out there so be careful.

The feeling is a 99% of sucess being choose the item for collection, the most important for me - if I'am satisfied. All around a tons of fakes and a excelent in quality, agreed Ben

Re: Officers Black Visor
Ben-
The more I looked at this cap, the more concerns I had. It is very well made. The stitching is a concern. For a pre TZM cap, the shape is not correct. Finally, it does not have that feel of 75+ years of exporsure to the enviroment and it's pollutants. You had the piece in hand, which is a one up on all of us. I believe your instincts were correct. This is a new breed of fakes that is getting closer. Scary.

Re: Officers Black Visor
Good you returned this one. Very crude and lacking of quality.

Re: Officers Black Visor
Among other things, the cheesecloth is awfully white and new looking, isn't it?
In time, I think it will be nearly impossible to tell if these better forgeries are bad or not . . . sad and scary, indeed.
